Courses* taken by our Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Technology students include:

<strong>Basic Air Conditioning Theory and Applications</strong>
This course introduces, discusses and demonstrates the practical applications of the physical properties of air, (psychometrics), blueprint interpretation, floor plan layout, calculating building heat loads, air distribution systems, types of air conditioning equipment and systems, codes, and installations. This course also introduces EPA, Section 608.

<strong>Basic Electricity Theory and Applications</strong>
This course introduces, discusses and applies electron flow theory, magnetism, electrical generation and power distribution, conductors, insulators, fuses, DC and AC electricity and circuits, motors and motor circuits, air conditioning and refrigerating system components and circuits.

<strong>Basic Refrigeration Theory and Applications</strong>
This course introduces, discusses, and practices the physical laws of matter, heat, transfer, gas laws and equations, pressure and temperature conversions, refrigerants and refrigerant recovery- recycle-reclaim methods and equipment. The refrigeration cycle, basic refrigerating systems and applications, codes, installation, safety practices, and EPA information are topics covered in this course.

<em>*Students will take additional program courses on top of the three listed courses. Courses may vary by program, credential level and campus.</em>
